Annona atemoya ‘Red Israel’

The Annona atemoya ‘Red Israel’ is a choice subtropical fruit tree, a hybrid of the cherimoya (Annona cherimola) and the sugar apple (Annona squamosa). Known simply as atemoya, this sought-after red-skinned selection is grown for its large, heart-shaped fruit filled with sweet, creamy white flesh. It forms a small, spreading tree with broad, soft green leaves and an unmistakably exotic presence.

The fruit of Annona atemoya ‘Red Israel’ has a rich, aromatic flavour often compared to a blend of pineapple, banana and vanilla, making it one of the finest of all custard-apple types. A vigorous grower, it fruits best in a warm, sheltered, frost-free position and rewards a little care with a generous late-season harvest. In cooler climates it is well suited to a large container that can be kept under glass or moved indoors for the winter.
